“We can’t let the people from the seventh dimension do whatever they want. Charge!”
In the end, everyone hit it off and stepped into the star sea together.
As they entered, the gray mist began to surge, causing the star sea to quake as if it had sensed their presence. Those white-haired monsters who had lost themselves suddenly roared and pounced on them.
“Haha, you were just ants in your previous life. I can easily suppress you all even if you turn into white-haired monsters.”
Their power had vastly increased after becoming a team. Endless mana surrounded them like a galaxy, isolating the unknown gray mist. There was no need for the second-step Wisdom Elite to lift a finger at all, for the others had already effortlessly eliminated the white-haired monsters.
“Onwards!”
“Even this bizarre thing is no match for us now that we’ve joined forces!”
Their morale increased suddenly as they rushed confidently forward. However, the deeper they went, the more intense the unknown aura became. It even began to undergo a qualitative change. The white-haired monsters became stronger and stronger, and the white hairs all over their bodies became denser and longer! Ordinary mana was unable to resist the erosion of the unknown aura.
Someone in the team trembled and panicked!
“Ah! No! I’ve been contaminated with the unknown!”
“Save me! Please, save me!”
“The unknown aura is infiltrating my mana. I don’t want to go deeper. Let me go!”
The fighters of the Heavenly Realm started to scream for they were the ones to fall first. They were trembling as white hair began to grow on their bodies!
The Crow King and Chaos Divine Sheep Ancestor, who were both second-step Wisdom Elites, watched all of this unfold with cold eyes. They gently raised their hands and a majestic force surged to block all the unknown aura from their own people. At the same time, they eliminated the people who were contaminated with the unknown before they had the chance to fully transform into white-haired monsters.
The group continued onwards. The white-haired monsters became stronger in both force and aura and the hair on their bodies gradually turned red. Some of them were even of the Heavenly Realm! Coupled with the presence of an unknown aura, everyone’s pressure rose sharply.
“What exactly is this? This group of people have not only become white-haired monsters but seem to have gotten stronger in the process!”
“I’m afraid we’ll just run into more danger if we continue.”
“There must be the most mysterious secret hidden here, for there’s great unknown and great strangeness!”
“The unknown aura here is so strong. Why didn’t it affect those people from the seventh dimension? How on earth did they evade the unknown aura?”
“The seventh dimension is even weirder than this unknown. We need to keep going deeper. We have to get our hands on the secret no matter what!”
“It’s no good to be so irascible when we’re living in such a wonderful world. I’ve already said the password so why won’t you just leave us alone!”
They fought hard all the way. Every step was like a deep mire, and they could only proceed with caution.
Compared to them, on the other side, Qin Manyun and others came across no hindrances at all and soon came to the deepest place.
Shi Tuqin’s eyes narrowed suddenly and she said, “There really is a broken tree here!”
Cultivation Junjun’s eyes were full of respect and he exclaimed, “It’s still standing even though it’s dead, shrouded in the unknown in the broken third dimension. The origin of this tree is probably beyond anything we can imagine!”
Dragin’s small face was full of confusion and she said, “It’s strange, I feel a familiar aura coming from this tree…” She walked forward slowly and her big eyes were inexplicably moist as if she was saddened by something.
Suddenly, three monsters appeared from the broken tree. These three monsters were no different from the white-haired monsters, but the hair on their bodies changed from white to red. The long red hairs were filled with enough unknowns to shock the world and their aura had actually reached the second-step of Wisdom Elite! They roared wildly and did not retreat like the white-haired monsters before. Instead, they charged ferociously toward Dragin.
“Dragin, look out!” All the color drained out of everyone’s faces as they rushed forward.
Shi Tuqin stepped forward quickly. With a solemn expression on her face, she took out her brush and started to write in the air. “It’s no good to be so irascible when we’re living in such a wonderful world.”
The words in the air glowed and melted into the surroundings. At the same time, she touched the painting in her arms. The piece of paper was exuding a milky white brilliance, and the faint glow fell on the three red-haired monsters, stopping them in their place. Their faces started to contort hideously as they struggled against the force.
The faint glow fell on the broken tree as well. Suddenly, it was as if time and space were intertwined and a strange aura rose from the broken tree. This force moved the River of Time and put everyone in a strange space and time.
It took them to a time countless years before where there was a towering willow tree, born between Heaven and earth, growing in the chaos. Its thousands of willows hung like blood vessels running through the world, holding up the world. The leaves on the branches were like small worlds, exuding vitality.
At a certain moment, a hole opened in the sky, heaven and earth collapsed, and Wisdom was silent! The world was being destroyed and countless creatures instantly vanished. That weird gray mist overflowed from the cracks, carrying with it a monstrous might with an unstoppable power that could override everything!
The third dimension became even more unbearable under the cover of the weird gray mist. Even a Wisdom Elite was just an ant before it and could be eliminated at any time.
The Origins of the third dimension spilled out, became contaminated by gray mist, and was instantly suppressed! A voice from the weird gray mist spread across the three dimensions, “My time’s coming. Remember for I am…Heaven!”
At this moment, the willow tree appeared out of the ordinary. Its willow branches shuttled through the endless void, covering the entire third dimension. It engaged in a bloody battle with the gray mist. It was also using its body to hold up the entire dimension.
The sacred brilliance radiated from every branch and every leaf, dispelling the unknown and wanting to suppress it! This thrilling battle formed a turbulent Wisdom current, erasing everything and returning the third dimension to its most primitive state.
A willow tree, holding up the third dimension with an unimaginable posture, was fighting against Heaven! Contaminated by the unknown, its leaves were no longer crisp, and its branches were beginning to break, but still, it fought vigorously, wanting to use supreme power to completely suppress this unknown!
It could be seen to the naked eye that under the agitation of the branches, the gray mist was actually shattered, and the so-called Heaven seemed to be torn into countless fragments!
Finally, Heaven admitted defeat and began to retreat. However, the willow tree blocked its retreat, and with a swing of its branches, the portals between the third and seventh dimensions were all broken. Since then, the third dimension became isolated and restricted.
“This is just one of my many incarnations. I’ll let you die since you want to trap me here,” came the furious voice of Heaven.
The willow tree said nothing, for its actions said everything that needed to be said. Even if the leaves were yellow, the branches had fallen, and the trunk was broken, it would still suppress Heaven with all its strength.
Between the sky, the voice of a willow tree whirled, “I won’t die! I’ll return stronger and finish you off! Because I’m invincible!”
End of story.
Dragin and the others were deeply immersed in shock, and they all burst into tears.
“It’s Sister Willow. This tree is Willow!” cried Dragin, all worked up.
Nanan nodded and said, “I never knew Sister Willow was so amazing back then. She survived a hundred battles and will eventually return even stronger!”
Qin Manyun took a deep breath and exclaimed, “Sister Willow used her power to protect the third dimension, to prevent this unknown from harming other dimensions. Her strength and courage is admirable.”
Shi Tuqin was all choked up and she said, “The willow tree in the backyard has always been quiet. It turns out that we all owe Sister Willow a big thank you.”
Blackie scratched his head. “The willow tree must’ve been one of the Battle Spirit Guardians back then. I wonder if the other Battle Spirit Guardians have also been planted in the master’s backyard?”
As for Cultivator Junjun and the others, they were equally shocked. Not only were they shocked by the strength of the willow tree, but also by the awesomeness of the expert. The willow tree was a Battle Spirit Guardian, tasked with protecting the seven dimensions. It was unparalleled in combat strength and invincible, and yet, it was treated as an ordinary willow tree by the expert. It was very terrifying to think about.
“Hahaha, we’ve finally caught up to you!” Suddenly, a burst of wild laughter came from behind them. The Chaos Three-legged Crows had finally arrived. Dragin and the others wondered how they could still laugh like that when they were still being attacked by the group of white-haired monsters.
At this time, the Chaos Three-legged Crows also saw the willow tree and were immediately shocked by it.
“The Origins are so rich here! This must be the source of it all!”
“What kind of tree is this? Even though it’s dead, I can still feel the extreme pressure coming from it!”
“The tree’s shrouded with unknown. What exactly happened here?”
“It’s a big secret! We can definitely turn it into a treasure once we dig it up!”
By then, the three red-haired monsters had noticed them. With a violent roar, the three of them rushed toward them frantically!
“Oh no, the white-haired monsters have evolved into red-haired monsters!”
“They’ve become even more terrifying now that they actually have the supreme combat power of the second-step Wisdom Elite!”
“Why? Why do you just attack us and not the people of the seventh dimension?”
“Could it be that they knew they were no match for them?”
Feeling wronged, they were all on the verge of a breakdown and were filled with confusion. They had no choice but to engage in battle with the red-haired monsters. The three red-haired monsters were shockingly powerful and this immediately brought great pressure to the team. Coupled with the erosion of the unknown aura, more and more people were contaminated by the unknown.
“D*mn it. Everyone, bring out all your big guns and quickly take these monsters down!” shouted the Crow King. He suddenly raised his hand and a golden longsword appeared in his hand. There was no pattern on the longsword but the whole body was enveloped with a layer of Origins aura. Wisdom knelt as soon as the longsword came out.
The entire space was shaking. The longsword was indeed the Origins Ultimate Treasure that he got from the third dimension by fluke! He raised his sword and slashed at one of the red-haired monsters, cutting it in two instantly! The Chaos Divine Sheep did not hesitate to take out a mirror and flashed it on a red-haired monster!
There were also three second-step Wisdom Elites. They cast out an attack at the same time. Not only did their attack obliterate the remaining red-haired monster, but it also emptied the surrounding white-haired monsters. Once again, peace returned to the area.
One of the Wisdom Elites looked at the broken tree. Suddenly, his eyes flashed as he threw his spear at the tree. He was the only one among the five second-step Wisdom Elites who did not have an Origins Ultimate Treasure. Therefore, he called first dibs on the Origins, wanting to use it to refine his weapon into an Origins Ultimate Treasure,
The Origins around the broken tree were floating around it with the unknown. When the spear was about to reach the broken tree, the gray mist contaminated the spear, causing it to lose all its insights. It then fell to the ground with a clang.
“You came because of the Origins and you’ll die for the same reason!” A harsh, ruthless, and cruel voice sounded. The gray mist surged, converged, and flowed in the void as if it was some strange creature.
“Tell us what you are!” said Crow King, wanting to get to the bottom of this.
“I’m Heaven!” said the strange gray mist. Its tone was full of arrogance and contempt as if it was born to rule the world. Then, in a mocking tone, it continued, “Seven Battle Spirit Guardians? Ha! They’re all laughable and pathetic! The term ‘heaven-defying’ refers to things that cannot be done which naturally means no one can possibly do it. Yet, they claimed to have done it!
“If only they knew that the greatest disaster in the world comes from the greed of the human heart. As long as your greed continues, I’ll eventually get out of my entrapment! Defying heaven’s an empty dream after all!”
It was because the news of the Origins spread in the seven dimensions that so many catastrophes had occurred. Too many people went crazy to seize the Origins—they plundered other realms and destroyed their own world. Everything came from greed!
The day the Origins of the seven dimensions would emerge was the time when Heaven would make its comeback. Heaven’s words caused the Chaos Three-legged Crow and the others’ complexions to change wildly. Their blood ran cold and their bodies began to emit a monstrous chill.
Could Heaven really exist in this world? Not only that, it was a sentient being? They found all this very difficult to believe.
“Don’t panic! It’s probably trying to scare us off!”
“You call yourself Heaven? Well, let’s see what you’ve got!”
“If it’s really that strong, it wouldn’t have been sealed here!”
“I don’t believe you’re really Heaven!”
They spoke one after another, trying to convince themselves that it was not really Heaven in a bid to calm themselves down.
“The Battle Spirits Guardian might have the power to defy heaven but they’ll never be able to defy human greed! The third dimension should’ve lived in my shadow countless years ago. Let’s see who can stop me now! Hahahaha.”
As soon as Heaven stopped speaking, the weird gray mist burst out like a tide, covering the sky, sun, and everyone in an instant. It went through countless transformations. It was intangible and yet, it could solidify itself.. It eroded everyone with its invisible aura while transforming into countless monsters who then rushed towards the group.
